But, here’s what it lacks… No in-depth analytics & reporting

PayPal does the best work at managing orders but it’s not a core reporting tool. PayPal only provide summary reports of how your business is performing but they are limited. Their main reports include: account history, sales activity, order fulfillment, monthly statements, recurring payments, etc. These reports come handy but in order to grow your business you need to have a complete view of aspects like customers, products, sales, transactions etc.

👀 Few more limitations of PayPal reporting

Very slow transactions loading

Though PayPal loads transactions which you queried for but it takes a long time to load.

Only full text searches

Searching in PayPal is tiresome. You need to first select the parameter you are searching for and then write the full text of the search term. And only then hit search. Making the process time consuming and annoying.

No in-depth reports

PayPal does provide reports but they are not in-depth. The graphs, charts give a good overview but there is no way of figuring out the exact specifics beyond that.

Lengthy accessibility

The processes of locating and the downloading PayPal’s reporting as well as applying filters makes it rather difficult to locate specific data.For instance, you need to first fill in the filtering parameters before carrying out a search activity.

Missing products & customer data

Every business success depends on its relation with customers and the products that contributes to sales. With PayPal, you won’t find details on your best selling / worst selling products, your loyal customers, best time for sales, etc. In short, PayPal only provides a summary and no in-depth information on either the products or customers.

Lack of actionable sales insights

Same like customers and products, PayPal misses out on sales insights too. These include time when maximum sales occur, which country contributes to maximum sales, daily average revenue, etc.

Here’s the solution : Custom PayPal reporting alternatives

Since PayPal’s core reporting capabilities are limited, many companies offer comprehensive reporting integrations for PayPal. Some of the popular PayPal reporting tools include Putler, ChartMogul, PayDrill, GetControl, etc.
